Bob Dylan - Delia Lyrics
Delia was a gambling girl, gambled all around,Delia was a gambling girl, she laid her money down.All the friends I ever had are gone.Delias dear ol mother took a trip out west,When she returned, little delia gone to rest.All the friends I ever had are gone.Delias daddy weeped, delias momma moaned,Wouldnt have been so bad if the poor girl died at home.All the friends I ever had are gone.Curtis looking high, curtis looking low,He shot poor delia down with a cruel forty-four.All the friends I ever had are gone.High up on the housetops, high as I can see,Looking for them rounders, looking out for me.All the friends I ever had are gone.Men in atlanta, tryin to pass for white,Delias in the graveyard, boys, six feet out of sight.All the friends I ever had are gone.Judge says to curtis, whats this noise about?All about them rounders, judge, tryin to cut me out.All the friends I ever had are gone.Curtis said to the judge, what might be my fine?Judge says, poor boy, you got ninety-nine.All the friends I ever had are gone.Curtis in the jail house, drinking from an old tin cup,Delias in the graveyard, she aint gettin up.All the friends I ever had are gone.Delia, oh delia, how can it be?You loved all them rounders, never did love me.All the friends I ever had are gone.Delia, oh delia, how can it be?You wanted all them rounders, never had time for me.All the friends I ever had are gone.
